Had some issues with this today, but I got it figured out.

The #! installer script installs openjdk, meaning you have java 1.6SE installed by default (as well as the JRE for 1.6). However, 1.7 is the most recent version, with 1.8SE coming out in March.

So I wanted to update to 1.7. Here is how I did it.

Open terminal and perform the following:

sudo apt-get purge openjdk*

Then:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update   
sudo apt-get upgrade   

Note: If you have amd64 this will throw some errors. Just ignore them.

Next:

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

Accept the agreement and:

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-set-default

Keep in mind if you are using eclipse you will have to change your default compiler to 1.7.

Hey guys,

Just going to get right to it. I have some executables that I use all the time, but I don't want to open terminal, go to the directory, and then execute the application (specifically eclipse).

So here is what I did.

Modified ~/.bashrc as follows:

# eclipse path shortcut
PATH="$PATH:~/eclipse/"
alias clipse="cd ~/eclipse && ./eclipse"

Now when I open terminal and type clipse, eclipse opens.

I then took this over into rc.xml as follows:

<keybind key="A-e">
      <action name="Execute">
        <startupnotify>
          <enabled>true</enabled>
          <name>Run Program</name>
        </startupnotify>
        <command>clipse</command>
      </action>
</keybind>

But when I hit alt + e, I get a message prompt that says "failed to execute child process "clipse" (No such file or directory)". Any ideas how to remedy this?

SOLUTION:

<keybind key="A-e">
      <action name="Execute">
        <startupnotify>
          <enabled>true</enabled>
          <name>Run Program</name>
        </startupnotify>
        <command>~/eclipse/eclipse</command>
      </action>
      </keybind>
